3 Up, 3 Down: Mets Drop Series To St. Louis

Zero offense and sloppy baseball ultimately doomed the New York Mets in St. Louis. The Mets dropped their first series of the year after losing two out of three to the rebuilding Cardinals. That included an all-around bad effort in the finale. It was the lack of offense in clutch situations that really concerned, however. And it is something the Mets will have to try and fix on the fly in a...
